async downloadFile(hostAlias: string, remotePath: string, localPath: string): Promise<boolean> { try { await this.connectToHost(hostAlias); await this.ssh.getFile(localPath, remotePath); this.ssh.dispose(); return true; } catch (error) { console.error(`Error downloading file from ${hostAlias}:`, error); return false; } }
